Why aren't we talking about the Revelation of the death of ( S1 Spoiler)


Season 1 Spoiler:

Although It was obvious that Ben Crawford was going to be killed in prison since he was arrested for the death of a child, it was still a little sad to discover during a fleeting conversation between Eric and Amanda in episode 2 on Sunday that he was in fact murdered in prison. I wonder if they are going to revisit this case in a future season to arrest that murderous little brat as was alluded to by Detective Cornell at the end of last season; especially since Amanda said that Ben was "an innocent man," so it must be common knowledge by now that he didn't do the actually killing.

They HEAVILY implied last year that he died during the "Cornell Confidential" webisodes. At least, that's why I'm not talking about it (because I remembered it from last year), but I could see how a lot of people might not have seen those webisodes. They were pretty interesting.

Cool, I didn't know of the webisodes. I just found out about this show and binged the first season last week. I'll check them out.

It was discussed after the end of the first season on this message board. All of us who watched "Cornell Confidential" heard the older daughter tell Cornell that her younger sister was the real killer, and her mother and sister were living in hiding off the uncle's money. Once she turned 18, and her father was no longer alive, she felt it was time to let the truth know. Ben's best friend (I forget his name, but the heavyset guy) was there at the meeting (at a diner) as moral support for his friends daughter when she told Cornell the full truth (along with flashback cutaway scenes that showed the younger daughter saying little things around her sister and her mother, when they were doing various holiday things and talking about what was going on).
